Starting point is 00:02:11 we'll see how he does on this podcast first. If I may, I like to introduce Dash as the cover art from the romantic smut that your wives and girlfriends read. It's not too far off I feel I was like why does this dude look like he'd be on the cover of a romance novel? Jack is he gay to recognize the prowess of another man's? I feel like he's just the Pokemon evolution of me All the sudden I fed him the lightning stone Successful Realtors making more and more sense yeah yeah here's the master bedroom
Starting point is 00:02:51 imagine it look at that mirror in the corner flower petals yeah yeah do real estate? Yeah. YouTube is yeah, just for fun. Yeah. My wife had that for a while. What's your female client base like? Higher than 50 percent? No, I get along with the dudes more, you know. It's just more chill.
Starting point is 00:03:16 You know, I think the long hair is like more relaxed for a lot of guys. Women just don't want to talk about longbows as much. No, no, no. Yeah. No, it's unfortunately it's not appreciated as much because they're gay. Damn, do I feel that, dude. I mean, yeah, women suck dick.
Starting point is 00:03:30 I mean, that's pretty gay, if you ask me. I mean, science. This stuff's joked up. So do you guys know each other? Yeah. How long have you guys known each other? I don't know the lore between any of this. How long do we go back?
Starting point is 00:03:44 Maybe two years? We've served in the ranks together in His Majesty the King's army, fighting against the French in France, campaigning on many a campaign. Sir, please leave the medieval times. I'm sorry. Did you guys LARP together? No. Technically yes. Technically yes, actually yeah. Yeah, our first video together was like a LARP.
Starting point is 00:04:04 Yeah, we served in a LARP. Yeah, we served in the LARP Corps together. Yes, yes. We did a bow versus ballistic dummy as the first one. Yeah. Everyone got mad about the quality of the armor. But damn, dude, I can't afford to legit cure asses all the time. Very expensive.
Starting point is 00:04:16 Guys are getting on my ass about that stuff. It's gonna be a super autistic episode. You were saying that yesterday. Do we really think the medieval peasants wouldn't be rocking Amazon armor if they had Amazon? That's what I'm saying. That's exactly what they would have been doing. That was one of my points.
Starting point is 00:04:32 Yeah, yeah. I was like, this is the dude that bought the cheap armor and watch him die. King Henry, this guy can beat on a piece of metal with a hammer for 18 years, or you can just give Jeff Bezos like six grand. No. Ye olde wish.com
Starting point is 00:04:47 Contracting Lois bitter has been around for a while All right favorite favorite night movie a night's tale It was fun. Yeah, my top two for sure. It's tied for one. Yeah One of my notes. Yeah, the Heath Ledger one. Yeah Yeah, that was very fun back in the day for sure. That was a movie that could have only come out of the early 2000s. Yeah, I think so. So great.
Starting point is 00:05:13 Just running down there with no armor, jousting, like even with wood, it's going straight through. Queen existed back then. Yeah, medieval peasants chanting, we will rock you. Back in the day. Like a car solo coming out of the cable. Boom, boom. It holds up so well. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:31 It's a classic. No, that or what's the, god, I forget the name of it every time. It's a Netflix exclusive one with Matt Damon and Adam Driver. Oh, the duel. Where they have a night fight at the end. Yeah, the last duel. Yeah. Yeah. Based off of, that's factual. Yeah, that was Yeah, the last duel. Yeah. Yeah. Mm. Based off of that's factual.
Starting point is 00:05:46 Yeah, that was based off the last duel to the death, I think, that was recorded, the last actual death by combat. Also wild story because no one knows the true fight. Exactly. There's three variations of it. Yeah, it's a trippy story, for sure. I just thought the night fight at the end was actually like, oh, this is a full on cage fight. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:06 And the opponent die. It's not like, oh, honor him. Yeah. And that's that's the cool thing, I think, too, because like in doing what I'm doing, I've reached met a lot of guys that do the buhurt, which is like the full cage contact, you know, sports MMA of the of the the grappling with the armor and all that stuff. And there's one guy out in Germany, Diquidim, and so he's given me some armor pieces to test,
Starting point is 00:06:31 and we've kind of gotten close back and forth, but he does unscripted night fights with different cultures. So he's got a crew that he goes with, one guy is like a samurai and a knight. And so the weapons are dull, but they straight up brawl. And it goes into a clench within like 15 seconds every time, right? The clench and then the takedown, it's really not fancy. It's not fancy swordsmanship.
Starting point is 00:06:51 It's instant engagement takedowns. I think I've talked about that. This is the so that's the individual that does those realistic battles. Yeah. Hey, this is how this would play out. Actually, I think so. And he's a German guy. Yup. And then they'll do like three peasants versus the night. Yeah, five peasants versus the night. Yeah, that's the guy. Brutal because he just goes in and murders all of them. It's like, oh, this is actually how this would
Starting point is 00:07:13 play out. And that's where you see there's no flash or anything. It's like, I'm going to just stab you in between the crease of the armor and watch you bleed out. Jesus. Oh, it's gnarly. Where does he keep finding more people to volunteer to be the presence? It's super good shit. If you haven't watched that, that is fantastic. Have you done any of that yet? No, no, I haven't. No, that's, I, that's a lot of investment for initial costs just for the armor sets and
Starting point is 00:07:41 everything. Like I've loved, I would love to do it. I've done, you know, wrestling and grappling jiu jitsu for a long time. What do you mean? How much? For all that stuff? Yeah. I mean, he sent me some stuff and just like
Starting point is 00:07:52 for the gauntlets and everything, that's like 400 bucks for just the gauntlets. And that's like a cheaper part. They articulate and everything. And I'd say, That's probably as I thought. I'd say Unsub's gonna sponsor him. We're gonna fight him like a Pokemon.
Starting point is 00:08:03 Oh, yeah. I will do it. You will be on Straight up. No, I've done Brandon mom I choose you you Sponsor I'll go in the cage a heck. Yes. How are you doing? You just so I like eight nine years black belt No, no, no, I took it. I took time on purple. I took time on off off off. You know how it is Yeah older. It's like you can't really do it consistently. Bro, we're sponsoring a knight.
Starting point is 00:08:29 We're sending him to Buffalo. Bring in the Cunt Knight. So can I have a different name? No, I hate Cunt Knight. No, it's your name. It's your name. We're sponsoring this. It's our name.
Starting point is 00:08:41 He's right outside of the Buffalo Public School system, headquarters, and just like like bring out your champion The night of the random of the unsubscribed I can get bunker to make the cum flags We will buy the night Yeah, get this like cuz the gang sponsors a night You think we're joking I I've never wanted anything more than I want and I'm married with children Horseback the entire way.
Starting point is 00:09:25 Your kids are still younger, right? Yeah. How old are they? They're all under 10? They are 7'6", 5". Bro, do you know how cool it would be for him though to like have his kids show up and Oh my God, my dad's a knight at five years old. My dad has circum! Think of the children with the name
Starting point is 00:09:50 Your last name is scission You wanted to do actually I think you're like You wanted to do actually, I think you're the one that talked about it. We've done. Because they do it out at that museum we went to, me and Ethan, that furniture museum and like old village thing in, what's that town? New Broughals. Like an hour away, New Broughals, yeah. They said they do it there every year.
Starting point is 00:10:17 They have a Renaissance Festival and they have like the night fighting. Because people want us to do it. The night fighting? Yeah. And we've already got people that would be like, hey, we'll loan armor for that if we do the fights. That's kind of cool. I have seen a couple of those videos, though, where, you know,
Starting point is 00:10:33 people are just using the big fucking hammers and shit. Yeah, just takes a hit to the back of the head and the armor, like the helmet. Dense. Yeah. I mean, like anybody got an ibuprofen? This is back before they developed crumple zones All the impact just goes right through the metal into your body You're but the back of your skull is the crumple zone. Yeah Try to argue with old people about that like old cars back in the day
Starting point is 00:10:59 You could get in a fender bender and they were fine. Yeah, but you weren't bender and they were fine yeah but you weren't yeah that's it so you don't die yeah your body explodes on the inside that's what would happen all people so we will do are you down to join this medieval festival how many how many present night armor do we need of course you already have one I'm sure and him could probably wear the same set not at the same close enough We're not at the same time if I leave Lord commands. I'm not wearing the night armor the entire time. It's gonna get hot as shit Yeah, that's the one thing is I want to share. It's sweaty. Yeah, the gang does this in November Guys from August. The game dies from you. But we just got to make sure you got the full kit.
Starting point is 00:11:47 So you got the arming jacket, the mail, and then the plate, and all that stuff. New side quest. Dude, I'm gonna start doing more deadlifting. Jesus. Yeah. Yeah, it was like 60 to 120 pounds for full mail. Yeah, I'd say probably, yeah, because everything, like the mail and then the plate and all that stuff, it's probably 60 pounds, I would say it probably close to that
Starting point is 00:12:06 Depends on the quality because right now a lot of guys that have a heavily invested use titanium So it's gonna be well that's cheating. It's gonna be a fraction of the weight, you know for the same amount of protection If not, how much the titanium suit? I don't know the guy decued him He made he has one but I never asked him how much it is But his like his real suit suit is part of his like... E old SR-71 armor. I was like, I don't know if that's an SR-71 joke. What does Master Chief wear?
Starting point is 00:12:31 Is it Mjolnir? Yeah, Mjolnir. Yeah, it's light though, right? It's freaking light, right? Get some, can't move. Get some Ceramite Space Marine it. Perf. The God King Emperor.
Starting point is 00:12:41 That's what it demands. There's a bunch of people in our audience who've never felt the touch of a woman who are loving this? I'm so Tackling somebody I'm not no dude. Yeah straight to the ground you train right? Will go on same time just straight up just go straight for the takedown double-a Armor exactly he's looking for another muscle group to tear. Yeah, I know Never get torn doing combat. I always get torn doing dumb stuff like bench press in the last year
Starting point is 00:13:15 The dumbest thing you can do is fight in night armor. I think it's I never get I never get injured doing dumb stuff I was a my line. Yeah Doing stupid stuff, like stuff that shouldn't injure me, injures me. Because the last year you popped two titties and a bicep. No, the two titties, the first titty was like four years ago. So it's been a while, yeah. 450 pounds.
Starting point is 00:13:37 Yep. And then a pushup. No. Just a freak accident. True, true. And then you caught water. Yep. This is true.
Starting point is 00:13:48 This is the wild one. Oh, fuck yeah. Okay, well we'll set that up. Brandon, when do you want to fight? What's up? Late October we'll do this. Sure, yeah. Well, whenever it's not fucking a billion degrees outside in Texas.
Starting point is 00:14:01 Hypothetically, if you did announce you were running for Congress, would that be after? Because there's nothing cooler than having a campaign rally while you're fighting as a knight. No, if you do it again, we could have knights next to you as you announce. What in the idiocy? That is right up there with President Kamehameha. Show with your dupes. It's not fair. I present to you the not-so-secret service. I wonder who's protecting Brand-Aid. Is it the phalanx in front of them? Jesus Christ. That guy's got my vote. I know.
Starting point is 00:14:39 So old. Well, we're going to do that then. I'm super fucking stoked for this. Uh, Admin, I just watched your breakdown of the battle of... What was the... Last of Us 2? Last of Us. Godforsaken show. Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
Starting point is 00:14:57 I didn't even think about a lot of stuff you brought out until you started talking about it. I was like... I forgot, yeah. They didn't do any of that for 25 years. You had 20 years to build make a fortress in the valley. What the hell were they doing? You guys haven't watched it yet, have you? I have no interest in watching the second season.
Starting point is 00:15:14 First season was all right. Like I enjoyed a good bit of it. I will give it credit. First season, episode one, when the outbreak was happening, was very good television. Yeah, very entertaining. Well, in the last episode. I thought was pretty good Yeah, you know couples shit in between was alright, but like no I enjoyed it. I had a good time with it second season I already know what's up. I'm not watching that shit. Yeah, I
Starting point is 00:15:35 Was really wondering too because like a lot of that revolved around you know the barrels full of gasoline Mmm, like where are you making that now? Because it is like 25 fucking years after that's no longer a thing. Yeah. Admin, what do you point out during? They launch their wooden wall. Their wooden wall, which makes way less sense when it's that.
Starting point is 00:15:58 Massive OSHA violation. Yeah. Just literally with the worst catapult-like metal ramp just launching these metal barrels They have to shoot them and then they throw torches to light them on fire What the fuck I don't get it. So now you have flaming zombies that are all over the wooden wall. Yes Yes, you're very dry wooden wall. Did they even have a trench? No trench. Oh you think anybody please love God build a train Yeah, it's like 101 dig
Starting point is 00:16:25 Just dig a trench. Yeah barbed wire Demote a moat heaven forbid a moat. Yeah, it would be dope. I want to draw a bridge for my house Cool, that would be a lot get really old for the F the FedEx guide I fucking hate this house. You just have a bunch of stomped Amazon packages outside your house. Fire em, put it on the catapult, launch it over. I need em'o now, I don't want anybody to steal my little boy replica I'm gonna put in my front yard. It's gonna go hard.
Starting point is 00:17:03 It's a weird thing to steal. The Chechens may steal it. You ever met a tweaker? Scrap metal to them. Oh that's very true. It's a fair game. How much is it away? It's like 800 pounds.
Starting point is 00:17:12 It's ridiculous. It was really funny to drive across town in a trailer. I guess in good looks. Afraid of tweakers stealing your little boy? Yes. There's copper in your skin, Let it out. Hey Brandon. Yes Eli? When you think of business that are just crushing it,

Starting point is 00:18:50 the one thing I always go back, YouTube didn't exist so you don't have tutorials. And then also people, I don't know what they were doing during the outbreak, but you had soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. It's like, whoa, what's going on? Look at those guys. Exactly, they're just like, oh shit.
Starting point is 00:19:07 We stuck here now. But the training and everything, because you pointed out Molly and stuff. They have like Alice gear. But what the fuck are they doing? Should be good enough to carry ammunition. They have no like crew-served weapons. Brown and 50 cal exists.
Starting point is 00:19:20 SAWs exist. M60s exist. This is the last of us. Q40s exist. That was a this season. Museums exists. America exists ran Herrera existed. He was like a bit more. Yeah, but a magic being permanently stuck in a timeline where the most recent camouflage is cutting edges ACU. Now, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Starting point is 00:19:40 no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, really? What is it? 2006 is when ACU to the end of, early 2006, ACU got rolled out. This is 2003. And the last one was 2003. Oh, that's fortunate. Don't get me started.
Starting point is 00:19:50 I got God's camo in 81. But why not? I haven't been able to find, I haven't been able to find the proof, but I'm almost positive it was like literally just some congressman's son that got the contract, because when they were developing the new camo to replace the Lord's flannel, they had like seven camos that they ran through and they settled on they did like testing for years. They did testing and they settled on one that looks almost identical to multicam. They settled on it. They did the testing for years and
Starting point is 00:20:20 then they went into the meeting and they're like, like this one more the digi cam and it wasn't even one of the ones that they had tested so they ran through all the testing of like it was like six to eight different camos found the best one and then just pulled the shittiest camo ever out of left field and we're like we're going with this billion dollars was spent on ACU so It was a billion. Yeah one billion dollars for that camo pattern by the way To develop it. Yep Yep Somebody that's what I'm saying. I just twitched it was fucking hunter Biden on his laptop with Microsoft paint
Starting point is 00:20:57 billion fucking dollars It's a grandma with her couch cushions Yeah, could we pull up the picture of the the guy planking on grandma's couch in AC? The Navy's version of ACU was objectively worse The dark and light blue digi cam You know because if you're on a fucking warship what you want to do is to be able to blend in with the fucking water Where the fuck did he go? What did they find on the water? They have to blend in on- uh oh. I saw where he hit the water! I just can't see him!
Starting point is 00:21:47 Ha ha ha ha! Aaaaaah! Look, as you don't want to see anybody to be able to see you on a massive battleship. You got five stories up. Right. What are we hiding from exactly? Don't worry, I'm sure they're gonna quit quit dropping bombs on the cruiser because Jim fell overboard. Jim, fuck off.
Starting point is 00:22:10 God, you guys need to watch at least episode two though of The Last of Us because it is absolutely horrendous. They throw all tactical knowledge out the window and it is 25 years. They had to develop that Yeah, get unlimited grocery delivery with PC express pass meal prep delivered snacks delivered Fresh fruit delivered grocery delivery on repeat for just two dollars and fifty cents a month learn more at PC express.ca Five years did 25 years Wood wall. It takes place 2028. So 25 years. Yup. And then there's no like past that it's like one guy gets in and then it's just everything falls apart.
Starting point is 00:22:51 Instantly. One, one big chungus of a zombie hits the wall and then the whole thing falls apart. What was the point dude? Dude, it's so bad. A chongus of a zombie is the best way to describe what it is. Yo, a chongus of a zombie Like to put a bunch of lead into it and then it's just him running Any downstairs so everyone all the zombies go up top and start killing everyone instantly. It's bad.
Starting point is 00:23:26 I hate HBO, dude. One of the complaints that I heard was that it was like, it looked like they were getting their ass kicked and then just suddenly everything's fine. Yeah, they won. Yeah. Yeah. Tommy's wife goes and releases the hounds and then all of a sudden they win. I forgot dogs are what helps stop that.
Starting point is 00:23:41 Yeah. I don't know, dude. I don't get it. What the fuck are dogs doing against zombies Unless they're immune yeah The ultimate uno reverse card yeah is you're afraid to get bitten by zombies now they're fighting All the zombies start turning into dogs Oh, no! Paul, why is she like all these German Shepherds?
Starting point is 00:24:04 In that case, I know a lot of toddlers that have turned into pit bulls. Movie idea, movie idea. A werewolf that's a toddler that turns into a pit bull. How funny would that be for a spoof movie though? We imagine World War Z but instead of developing the cure for immunity, we develop a cure to make dogs turn the zombies into dogs. It'd be perfect. Can we go with mine?
Starting point is 00:24:41 I thought mine was more plausible. Welcome Dash. Can we go with mine? Welcome to this is very good. Did you watch a single episode? I braced myself for what would be unhinged shenanigans I'll just watch this grandma episode God what have I done? I'm already on the plane Oh, they're sweet! That's relaxing. Dear God, what have I done? I'm already on the plane! It's too late now!
Starting point is 00:25:05 That was just such a funny, just such a polite letdown. Well, we could do my movie idea. No. Holy shit. We have to settle in the medieval night form of combat. I think that's a winner right there. That and the GED thing. Nick's going to kick my ass.
Starting point is 00:25:31 That would be great. I mean, OK, so going back to your medieval movies, what is your style of content specifically for yourself? Like me? Yeah. So just imagine you were a kid and you had two toys and you go, bah, and you smash them together. That's kind of the idea behind a lot of it. I shoot super heavy duty war bows. So I've trained my life to get up to like 160
Starting point is 00:25:53 pound bow. So there's not a lot of people that do that. There's a few guys out in England, but not a lot. So I do a lot of archery type content against plate armor and different type of things like that because there's few people that have that capacity for that draw weight. Just for reference, like 160. What's your max pull back? The most I've gone so far has been like 120 ish pounds probably. Brandon when you pull 55.
Starting point is 00:26:17 Yes, compound Bobo's 55 when you pull the back. Yeah, that's absurd. 120. Fuck 160. 160 is insane. So that was like always been like my goal to try to get to that. So I've had some cool stuff where APA sent me, they sent me like 100 pound compound bow, which is like the latest and greatest. And so I did that. And so just like, because a lot of people give me, I've never used the clamp. So I was using my fingers on it. And a lot of people give me grief about that, but they said it was fine to do, so I was pulling that and that was doing crazy work. He lies face right now. Bro, you weren't using a fucking release?
Starting point is 00:26:52 You were just with your fingers doing a hundred pounds? Period accurate, homie. How do you hold? Just three fingers. So that was a cool one, because I tested against hardened steel plate. and the the war bows fail against that when you get that compound like the modern bow and I had a bishop arrow so bishops are like they're the arrows used for hunting elephants in big game it's like a 1700 grain. The huffing elephant with the pointy stick. No, we're serious. 100 pounds on a compound, bro. Your poor wife. Jesus.
Starting point is 00:27:32 180 pound on a rated finger is right there. I'm like, Jesus! It's hard to articulate the satisfaction I have right now for having my record material here in flesh. Bash doesn't know how many times he'd get here in real life I've referenced him so it's nice to have my source material present. I can tell you if you ever get into the AK space I'm kind of fucked. Have you ever had like any, I guess like x-rays comparing arms to see if after doing this
Starting point is 00:28:07 for so long you have more bone density in your arm over the other? I actually haven't done that but I like this is anecdotal but I got like a while ago I got a massage and the guy was talking to me and he's like, hold on. Yeah, I mean, pause. Pause. Did you see me? Pause. Just saying. Just saying. He has strong hands. Yes.
Starting point is 00:28:31 So what do you do for a living? My wife made the massage. It was a couple's massage. She was in the room, which I don't know if it makes it worse. I'm digging a deeper hole. Dear God. She's sitting in the corner. We really don't need to know about that.
Starting point is 00:28:39 She was in the room. It was way worse. I'm in it now. I'm going to finish the story. I'm going to finish the story. I'm going to finish the story. I'm going to finish the story. I'm going to finish the story. I'm going to finish the story. I'm digging a deeper hole. Dear God. She's sitting in the corner. I am not. We really don't need to know about him. She was in the room. It was way worse. I'm in it now. I'm going to finish the story at Cambort. We're just going to go ahead.
Starting point is 00:28:52 So your wife is watching? Yes, yes, yes. Dad? What's up? Honey? But they said that it felt like there was like two different backs when he was doing it. Like the way the muscle ligaments attached on one side versus the other one felt extremely different. Like there was different, like it felt almost like a completely different anatomy for one left side to the right side.
Starting point is 00:29:16 And then he charged you for two massages. Yes, yes, yes. So I do think that there's a little bit of that and historically you could find because they started at such a young age, there was actually, they would deform the skeleton because it would mess with the growth patterns because they would start pulling it so young. So they can identify archers by their skeletons because there is a curve and they have an example of one at a history museum over in England of an archer skeleton and they had like, it was like the excess bone mass on a specific side. So there's a little bit of a hunch as well just from the strain of doing the actual weight
Starting point is 00:29:48 of that bow. Kind of makes sense. It's like MMA with like conditioning. Yeah. You know, shampoos, anything like that from like Thai fighters. Yeah, very similar. Yeah, exactly. Same concept as that.
Starting point is 00:29:58 Yeah. So I've never done the x-ray. I've had a few people ask to do it, but I haven't done that yet. So do it. Okay. We'll sponsor that. yet. So do it. Okay. We'll sponsor that. Okay. So it comes a lot.
Starting point is 00:30:10 Whatever your name is. We're making sure that the strength of our fighters where we need you to be. Yeah. We need the MRIs, the x-rays, you know, don't want to bet on a lame horse. Oh my gosh. I'm just commodity now. I'm just getting pushed around. I didn't have
Starting point is 00:30:30 Unsub gets into Mandingo fighting. I know, exactly. This took a different turn. Here we are. So, and then in addition to that, I do a lot of stuff with the sling, the shepherd sling. So that's the thing that like David that, I do a lot of stuff with the sling, the shepherd sling. So that's the thing that David used, right?
Starting point is 00:30:47 That's old school rope, just rope over the head, swing around. And so I do a lot of stuff with that, testing it against different types of armor, soft armors as well. So I do some of the bone, most of my stuff I don't have the budget for ballistic dummy,
Starting point is 00:31:00 but I get cow ribs and femurs and things like that to test it behind like the soft armor, how a sling does against that. So like if a rock would crack rib behind. Well you were saying how big were the arrows? How many grain were they? So the arrows are like 1500, 1600 grains. And then how was for the 160 pounds, how big are those?
Starting point is 00:31:18 That's about 1700 grains for that. 1700 grains, but the arrows I got from Bishop Archery were 1700 modern arrows and they have like zero flex and those are like 200 bucks a pop. The guy was nice enough to send me like six of them to try, but they're really expensive. 1700 grains for references, like just under three 50 cows. God dang.
Starting point is 00:31:42 There's a massive massive area. And then that one, how hard is that 160 pound? I mean, that's the limit right now. I have 180 and 175 I've been working towards. My goal was always to get to 200 because that's like the world record, technically. There's people that do more, but they just haven't, you know how the world record works where it's like people like, I want to pay for this.
Starting point is 00:32:00 And so they get the record, but there's dudes out there that can pull like 210, 220. But I've always just wanted to get to like that 200 pounds. So I've worked on that for a long time, but once I got to 160, 165, I've just been stuck. Like you just, your body, it's so taxing that you, your body just wants to break in on itself, like especially the left shoulder trying to hold it out at that point.
Starting point is 00:32:20 It's almost like compressing you in mass moves mass and you're not, you're like a buck 90 maybe bucking. Yeah. Yeah. So you need to be like 250. How big were the guys pulling those? Well, they were, I mean they were smaller. Obviously that was just, I mean they weren't like, they were strong, right? That's the thing. It's like, think of anyone with a specific muscle grouping for a specific thing like arm wrestlers or things like that where they get like, you know, they have very specific muscles for very specific movements.
Starting point is 00:32:47 It doesn't mean that you're strong overall. It means you're strong in a specific specific movement that you do. And so with those archers, it was really just being able to be strong in that movement. They were extremely strong, but it wouldn't translate to like raw strength. Like I don't think they would outbench press people. Right. It's just that one particular movement. That is, and how hard is it hitting a lot of those objects armor, or what's it punching? I mean it's very hard. The only problem is that wood is not a great,
Starting point is 00:33:15 wood does not transfer energy well because when the wood arrow hits it tends to diffuse it if it's not going through it. And it loses momentum fast. So if I go against like, let's say different armor types, so like mild steel is what's used a lot of times nowadays with like different types of replication. So mild steel is like low carbon content and so it's not gonna do a great job stopping it. But if you have like a hardened steel even if it's like you know C60 hardened steel and you have
Starting point is 00:33:42 like 0.5 or 1 millimeter to 1.5 millimeters, at 1.5 it's like, you know, C 60 hardened steel and you have like point five or one millimeter to one point five millimeters at one point five. It's not getting through, but at one millimeter I can punch into it a little bit, but it's not going to go through mail and padding game. The sentence is going to punch into it. It's not going to hit the whole thing. There's a wild to me. Is this what you got you into your autism was like, Oh, reach out to this guy. Bernard Cornwell, his work on the Archer series got me into it. Then I found dash and I was like, this, this dude was pulling 160.
Starting point is 00:34:10 What the F like I was, it was insane because once you start, you're like, okay, I guess I'll get a heavy bow. Then you realize where you're actually at. Wait, since I'm 13, I was like like I can hop in on this. No problem humbled Like 60 pounds, I mean like brand you got humble I like it is like it's harder than you think like it doesn't sound like a lot of weight But when it's an awkward movement that you're not used to doing right which I was actually gonna ask as a follow-up to that
Starting point is 00:34:43 What kind of exercises in the gym do you do specifically for archery that would help with that muscle group? So the best thing realistically is you got to understand to the style is very different than Olympic style archery. Olympic style archery is usually like you see them and they come in like this and they activate the back, but it's not really doing much. The best thing is like a wide grip pull up, because what you're actually doing is you're coming in
Starting point is 00:35:07 and you're dropping down. And so it's basically pushing, pulling and dropping. And so that drop motion right there, that's the hardest part because that's when you get from like 24 inches, 26 to like 32. So that's when most of the weight stacks. And so wide grip pull ups is something that's really gonna get you to be able to drop in that extra that extra little movement right there.
Starting point is 00:35:28 So that and weighted wide grip pull ups. But I also have like a little weighted wide grip pull ups. Yeah, I'm not in that good shape. It's called body weight. So those are actually going to be the most useful for that type of archery. But if you're just like doing standard, you know archery with modern is 40 45 pounds It's gonna be right in here just like this. It's not gonna take the whole body into account. Hmm, and That's you were like I'll start off at 80 60. What were you starting off at? Um, my first bow
Starting point is 00:35:59 I try to buy a hundred pounds I think you end up being closer to like 70 or 80. Once I got my 109 pounder, because then I got my 135 pounder, I don't get a full draw on it. So it's probably like 120. But that one, it's like, if I don't train on it, like I can't just hop back in on the heaviest weight. Like I have to essentially restack my way up. What were you cracking up at?
Starting point is 00:36:22 Huh? What were you cracking up at a second ago? My mom just texted me. We've all met my dad, yeah? Yeah. See? I'm just going to read this text message. Your dad took Nana and I to Plaza Mexico, the local Mexican restaurant.
Starting point is 00:36:39 Do you want to bleep that just in case that's a local place? Oh, shit, there's like five of them. So the cook was whistling nonstop. Your dad asked the waiter if he could start whistling in English. That reminds me of like... Your dad has a Mexican... That reminds me of like... Your kids are Mexican.
Starting point is 00:37:12 Like the bad subtitles on a fucking Netflix thing. Whistles in Spanish. I checked my phone, that took me by surprise. Dash is like, my real estate career is gone. What does that server say? They're just like, oh yes, certainly sir, and walk away. Wait, what? My dad's been going there three times a week for 15 years, they know he's joking. It's just fucking funny.
Starting point is 00:37:44 Can you tell him to Whistling English, please Brand what's I actually meant to ask yesterday. What's the next video you're working on you have any like gun builds coming up? Oh Did I talk about any of the stuff I got from Rock Island? No, no, I don't think so. I kind of had a weekend that was you know during one of my that sounds expensive Yeah, yeah, I I was a little fast and loose I kind of had a weekend that was you know during one of mine that sounds expensive. Yeah Yeah, I I was a little fast and loose. I bought a M79 Thumper like a little for real a real one. Oh, it's a 40 mic mic grenade. Okay. Yeah, I need some Stick it string I mean, it's kind of a stick it just has a big but yeah like Vietnam era 40 millimeter
Starting point is 00:38:32 like single shot grenade launcher but got one of those picked up the Beretta ar-70 from the doing some metal gear shit because fucking Eli got me into MGS 5 and that's a gun I don't own and I can't have that so That was could not tolerate it picked up one of those So I'm gonna be doing probably you and I probably gonna work together on a medical Metal Gear solid video You have to incorporate the box. That's exciting Because we've got some exotic shit that I mean like the bear bear upper right or excuse me, the bear at M 82 A to like 12 of those in the world. And you have one at the shoulder one.
Starting point is 00:39:10 Yeah, I think I have the one that's I'm not sure about this part, but I think I have the one that's ever gone. The only one that's ever gone to commercial sale, like for civilians, because one's in a prop house and the rest are still nobody knows. I'm sure the military kept some of them. Barrett, I think, kept one or two. One them will end up in like fucking Norway somehow like their military But an MGS5 no idea or MGS4 Hideo picked that no idea how he picked that weapon platform for that game Everyone's like no clue highly specific because we have what that
Starting point is 00:39:39 We're looking for a PSG one. I have this stick the steamer missile launcher 50 cal sniper Missile Launcher. The 50 cal sniper rifle. The tube of it. I know, but I don't know. The E-conditioned Stinger Missile Launcher and then R23. You know that one. So the unique version sits on your shoulder like an RPG, like a bazooka, and you shoot it that way instead of being a sniper rifle. The military.
Starting point is 00:39:56 It sits, like it wraps on your shoulder. Yeah, like the magazine sits right here and there's a buttstock that rests on your shoulder and you hold it and it sits on your shoulder like a bazooka. Dude. But it's a 50 cal yeah Jamie pull that shit up it's actually pretty smart if you think about it yeah for carrying around a bear way to go to shoot yeah that right there oh my lord yeah that's insane also terrifying where the action happens yes yeah That's where I'm afraid of. Believe me, either it's going to work out or you're not going to care.
Starting point is 00:40:28 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, pretty much. The, um, because that was the one that, uh, Chris Barrett, I posted something, right, I showed that I had one of those, or when I had just picked it up it up and he's like I don't ever use this fucking word But that's actually a unicorn He's like how? Genuinely, how the fuck did you get that?
Starting point is 00:40:53 But rare fucking weapon. Yeah, so we just got a bunch of stuff from Metal Gear and you know The Metal Gear fans are fucking rabid. I had no idea. Yeah, it's the real thing. Yeah, it's a whole subculture That's very passionate about it. I Join the military because I know it's not the message of that game But I joined because of So fucking stuff and then you got the volcanic oh, yeah the volcanic pistol picked up one of those So we're gonna try our hand at recreating some of the ammunition for it Cuz it's the rocket ball. Yeah
Starting point is 00:41:27 Doesn't exist unobtainium. I saw a rock island actually sold a couple years ago. They sold Like 80 rounds of volcanic ammo like this was still like new in box from the 18 like 1855 It's like 20 fucking grand For a box of ammo. Oh my God. Most of which probably doesn't work. It's weird ammo because that's the first, that's the original gyrojet kind of.
Starting point is 00:41:53 That's kind of a misnomer, but they called it Rocket Ball. Like it kind of is like that. It really was a very unique take actually from the company that later became Smith and Wesson. It was some guy, his last name was Smith and then you Smith and Wesson. It was some guy, his last name was Smith, and he had Dan Wesson. And they worked together on the volcanic project in getting that made.
Starting point is 00:42:11 But basically it was a predecessor to self-contained cartridges. So basically they took like, if you can imagine like a mini ball, like one of those projectiles from like the Civil War, like black powder, they had one of those, but it was hollowed out in the back where they stored the powder in the bullet and put a primer on the back
Starting point is 00:42:29 So it's kind of like a self-contained cartridge with no no brass Was there still rifling? Yeah, I believe so no shit. I said that very confidently. I'm not sure but I Don't know the only problem is they were notoriously underpowered. Like to the fact that there was a story, I don't know if it's true, but a guy tried to fucking kill himself with one of them and failed. Because it's like a 100 grain projectile, I think.
Starting point is 00:43:00 Which is not that sneeze at, but I think it was going like 260 feet per second a paintball play yourself that thing Yeah, straight up When Ethan went out to that Renaissance Festival I didn't realize how like I guess they had they would adjust cannon fire Like I just always assumed that they would like, you know lift the cannon up and drop the cannon down and the dudes that were running they're like no there's a Mathematician on the back that was loading the next round and he would actually on the fly like we need this one to go further
Starting point is 00:43:38 And he would pack more black powder into the charge And they would literally cut fuses. Yeah, that's like this dude is just on the fly determining like for when the ball is gonna explode on an explosive round and how much powder to put in for how far they want it to go. Just on the fly, some dude doing math equations. For multiple cannons? Back to back to back, yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:00 Like each cannon had a dude doing all the math and they're like, they would just set the cannons up and fire and then like they didn't move the cannons anymore. Instead, they just repacked the ammunition. It's like, okay, so like the opposite of what a sniper does now, right? Yeah, that's great ammunition. So that's the constant and then you change the scope. They did the opposite. So the can the actual the rifle was the constant. Yeah, the rifle was a constant and they just repacked the ammunition on the fly That's fucking wild and they'd have like a chart there in the little carriage where they're like, okay Well if we need to fire at you know this many yards We'll have five seconds of flight time which means we need to cut a quarter inch off the tip of the fuse So that it explodes over the enemy like they were doing a bunch of it was wild shit
Starting point is 00:44:43 How fast were they at it too? I forget what he said in the video but it was like alarmingly fast like they were firing that cannon like every like 12 seconds yeah it was multiple rounds per minute yeah that's terrifying warfare too because that is your buddies there your buddies no longer there or his legs are no longer yeah it's also nice when the enemy formations also constant Shade to be that accurate. It's you're firing at minute of crowd Yeah at minute of crow. Yeah. Phalanx formation. Not working. Oh my God. They have horses get to a square.
Starting point is 00:45:31 Yeah. I fuck that shit. I actually just watched Waterloo from 1970. Movie goes hard, dude. Dude, that was so many extras to actually make the squares. They have like what thousands and thousands of people. So they filmed this in Ukraine during the Soviet Union. They pretty much use all Red Army extras to make this movie.
Starting point is 00:45:54 I've never seen this movie. I haven't either. I think from my research it flopped domestically here in the States, but now it's like it's kind of still like a cult classic because it's like a literally an epic of a movie like they're not going to make a movie like this again with no CGI. They had some dummies to play like really far shots, like in formation. But everyone you see in the shots are usually like real humans. Not usually they are real humans.
Starting point is 00:46:15 Kind of like Lawrence of Arabia, that kind of scale. The epic. Yeah, exactly. Drowning is sick, dude. Cause you'll see the big cavalry charges and all the extras are forming square. And there's just, it's just just movie It's just beautiful movie. There's no like Hollywood message. There's nothing to it. It's just dudes killing each other He's like I'm gonna kill this guy and you have Lord Blount Wilding team's like, I'm gonna stop Napoleon and it's just epic, dude. Epic retelling of the battle that inspired ABBA.
Starting point is 00:46:50 Is that what that is? What? Waterloo. It's a really, really deep cut. I'm sorry. Oh my god, okay. I'm just happy I'm not gonna miss this. Chase, put in the crickets. I'll see myself.
Starting point is 00:47:10 Took comedic wrist lay. The formation was cut down by Grape Shot Moolah. It's like damn it. There's like 12 guys out there that thought that was funny. 3-12. That was for you. So how does one get into, I guess I don't know if it's competitive, but I mean you're one of the best in the world at war bows. How do you get into that? Oh, I mean, for me, it was just, I would always read about these historical classes and, you know, and cultures and things.
Starting point is 00:47:41 And I'm in high school reading about English archers and how they would do up to 150 pounds. And I'm like, what does that mean? Like I didn't have a- You got that in high school? Yeah. Damn. I didn't have an idea as to what that, like that I just read about it.
Starting point is 00:47:54 And I'm like, what does that, what does it feel like? And so it kind of became a goal to like, I want to see if I can match what that did. And it's the same with like the sling. I read about the Balearic slingers in like the islands of Majorca, the Spaniards. And I was like, I wonder if I with like the sling. I read about the Balearic slingers in like the islands of Majorca, the Spaniards. And I was like, I wonder if I can master a sling. And so it really was just reading about historical like a craft or skill that people would master
Starting point is 00:48:14 and trying to see if I could replicate that over time. And so it was just, it's just always been something that just drove me to like, I want to see if I can master what man did back in the day or at least get passable at it. Way cooler than I learned a yo-yo in 30. I'm still on Aaron's team where it's like, you learned that in school? Yes.
Starting point is 00:48:38 You're a cooler history teacher. No, no, I read about it on my own. Oh, okay. Because I remember I read Lord of the Rings and I was like fascinated with Legolas. And then I was like, well, I want to read more about archers. So I just started reading archers on my own and just started like reading about history and the English archers and everything. And you go back to the Welsh and like the archers of Gwent back in the pre-dates that
Starting point is 00:48:59 and they had different bows that weren't you, but were still really powerful. So it was just something that I was always like, I wanna see if I can match what people did back in the day, if I can measure up to what they could get to. So that was always, yeah. That is it. We're all lucky he didn't pick Genghis Khan. Sorry.
Starting point is 00:49:19 I cannot ride a horse and I would be a horrible horse. I wasn't worried about the horse riding, but not with that hair and aesthetic, wasn't my concern. Master of husbandry. Sir, come. Sir, come! We have a whole circle. We know what his armor's gonna be. The white knight?
Starting point is 00:49:43 No. We know what his armor's gonna be. Oh boy. The white knight. It's like, fuck! You got a little bit of redemption there. Lord Baradun has studied the commuting lines! Holding steady! They gave me a wrap for some reason. Oh my gosh. I Haven't been fired yet Nick what do you work on next? I don't even know
Starting point is 00:50:22 I was like this entire week. We have time to ask just those questions yet, which is True that all the 442nd? On podcast. I don't think I did. I think I told you off-camera. I don't recall which which one was that I did a video. It should be going up on Wednesday. This podcast will be after that. Yeah. Yeah, so I can tell it I'm doing a video on the 442nd Infantry Division, which was the American Japanese that volunteered Oh fight for America anyways, even though a lot of them were being put in internment camps unjustly. And I kind of follow why they put the Japanese in internment camps, like what the justification was, why it was messed up.
Starting point is 00:50:56 Then I follow the unit all the way through combat. And then each stage of combat kind of has like one standout guy that did something incredible. So I guess like the two coolest or slash funniest for me was the whole reason that FDR and the military as a whole like decided we're going to put every Japanese person in an internment camp was a Nihao incident. So during the second wave of the attack on Pearl Harbor, they got American planes up in the air and they were dogfighting with the Japanese zeros. One of the Japanese zeros got hit in the fuel tank and he had to make he didn't have enough fuel to get back to the carrier. So he made the emergency landing on what he thought was an abandoned island called Niihau. And so he makes this
Starting point is 00:51:36 emergency landing, but there's actually 200 Hawaiians that live there. And the Hawaiians don't know that Pearl Harbor happened yet because like 90 miles away. So they like trying to help this guy, like treating him like just some dude that crashed a plane, like, oh yeah, we'll help you, blah, blah, blah. Well, then they find out, you know, within, you know, six, eight hours that they had attacked Pearl Harbor. So they throw them in jail. On Niihau, there was two Japanese people that lived there.
Starting point is 00:51:59 And it was a man and a wife. And the husband decides that he's sympathetic to the cause and he's going to help them escape. So they spring this guy out of jail and get him a gun. And the Hawaiians obviously try to stop him, but he's already got a gun now. It's Hawaii in 1941, you know? So this Samoan dude, not Samoan, Polynesian Hawaiian, he. He goes to stop him. His name's Ben Kanahele. And he gets shot three times charging at this Japanese Imperial pilot and makes it to the pilot, proceeds to pick him up
Starting point is 00:52:34 and throw him into a stone wall and then slit his throat with a hunting knife and survive, which is the most Polynesian shit I've ever heard in my life. Guys, when you leave your dogs at home, do you ever worry that they might find your firearm? Ah! Damn, maybe the ATF is onto something. No, I never thought about that.
Starting point is 00:52:54 Introducing Stopbox. Stopbox. Stopbox. Stopbox. I'm sure a lot of you guys and gals have a handgun for self-defense, as we all do. And if you do, it probably fits into one of two categories. It's locked up, but not within reach
Starting point is 00:53:09 Or it's just laying around where anybody could have access to it Well, stop box USA saw the problem and they came up with the stop box Pro It's all mechanical so you don't have to worry about it. It's batteryless ribbed for your pleasure What I love about this is it's TSA approved most gun cases when you want to fly with a weapon, has three or four little holes. This one has one. So you only need one lock, and then you do your... Buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh-buh when you use code unsub at stopboxusa.com. 10% and buy one get one. They have to be operating at a loss. One of my favorite parts about the stopbox is that it is actually made in America. Made in America!
Starting point is 00:53:58 Discover a better way to balance security and readiness with stopbox. Stopbox, stopbox, stopbox! Stopbox. security and readiness with stop box stop stop box stop box stop box so and then that ended up being like the catalyst of like one of the main excuses for like well we can't trust American Japanese people we have to put them in hermeneckes because they're all gonna side with Japan which obviously is fucking stupid and horrible one of the worst things America's ever done but that was the reasoning for it and then progressive yeah I'm still picturing randall that little dude
Starting point is 00:54:25 yeah yeah I mean I picture fucking Dwayne Johnson's character from Moana yeah so like that was cool and then I kind of like low-key follow one character through the whole story I like give you little updates on him and then he comes out being like the main hero at the end, at right at the end of World War Two, when the Allied forces break through the German Gothic line, which is like the last main line of defense in Italy. And then they Germany ended up surrendering like two weeks later. So they fight all the way through this North Africa, Italy, they're fighting the entire time. They take massive casualties.
Starting point is 00:55:11 And, um, he actually, there's a guy named, um, Oh my God, Daniel in a way. He ends up getting promoted at one point. He was, uh, he goes into save the lost battalion and world war II. He gets shot in the chest. He carries two silver dollars for luck in his front breast pocket, caught the bullet, saved his life. Shit. So then he goes in on the Gothic line. They get pinned down by three mg 42 nests his whole platoons pinned down and he's the lieutenant. So he gets up rushes a mg 42 nest with a grenade throws a grenade into it gets shot in the stomach blows up the first
Starting point is 00:55:41 mg 42 nests keeps running throws a grenade into the second MG 42 nest, blows that one up, goes in towards the third, and he goes to, pulls the pin on the grenade, winds back, and he gets within, he's somewhere between five and 10 yards from the nest, and the Germans fire a rocket propelled grenade at him. He was so close, the grenade didn't have time to arm, but just the sheer force of the grenade
Starting point is 00:56:05 hits his arm and Severs it and it's like dangling by tissue and his hand is holding a live grenade with no pen in it And he can't control it anymore So he collapses and his dudes like stand up to go run towards them and he turns back and he's yelling no stay back Because he's worried his hands gonna relax and let go of the grenade and kill everybody. So he laying down with missing an arm takes his left hand, prize a live grenade out and then ends up throwing it left handed and single handed into this last German machine gun nest blows it up, gets up with his Thompson kills at least one German some say some accounts set as high as many as three
Starting point is 00:56:45 kiss so between one and three more Germans with a Thompson submachine gun one-handed Then he gets shot in the leg and falls down unconscious and when he wakes up his guys are looking down at him and His dudes like all the accounts are he said and I quote nobody called off the war as they're dragging him back to the rear and Nobody called off the war as they're dragging him back to the rear. And he had so much morphine in the field that they couldn't give him any more morphine without basically stopping his heart and dropping his oxygen levels too low and kill him. And they didn't have anesthesia.
Starting point is 00:57:14 So then he got his arm amputated in the field and then he goes on to survive and he wanted, he always wanted to be a surgeon, but he can't be a surgeon with one arm. So we got into politics He was a Hawaiian territorial senator that was instrumental in Hawaii becoming a state and then he served as Hawaii state senator until 2012 when he passed away What a fucking G. Yeah, come on a fever today today The worst part about that whole story as I didn't have any food to eat while you told it
Starting point is 00:58:11 You're either a food youtuber or you're a you're a shower youtuber I watch YouTube in the shower in the mornings when I'm getting ready Or you're a shitter youtuber And that was I think Connor had mentioned that at some point where he said, you know, I just want you to know you're a TV YouTuber. Dang, dude. That's a high honor. Wait to watch it on the big screen. The big screen. Jesus, dude, running at three and the third one,
Starting point is 00:58:36 arm gets blown off and you're like, fuck it, I'll grab it with my other non-dominant arm. This throw is going to look gay. And then it will land. Like that next specify with just one hand as opposed to two hands. arm this throw is gonna look gay. Specify with just one hand as opposed to hands like my lucky inertia fucks up. And it tosses the hand, grenade drops. Oh no. And then he grabbed a Tommy gun with his left hand?
Starting point is 00:59:12 Yeah, he picked his Thompson back up and killed at least one, maybe three more Germans. Jesus. Do you know what he was shot in the stomach with? I would assume an MG 42. An 8mm Mauser. I imagine getting hit in the stomach with an eight millimeter Mauser, like would just fold you over. But if you still gone, it's like that's insane.
Starting point is 00:59:29 Because you hear about that, like you see that in like war shows. You hear about it. It's like, were they getting shot by MP 40s or by like eight millimeter Mauser's? You know, when they shrug off those wounds pretty much. Because that's a hefty fucking round. It's a big old round. It's like a 30 at six, but it's wider. You know, we think we got shot in the 40 to think it would have been like zipped up.
Starting point is 00:59:45 So you think it's like a car 98 if if it was an eight millimeter mouse or if you think it was an MP four, well then he would've get zipped up too. If it was an MP 40 in theory, unless one round caught it. You know, I didn't get to ask him, but did you get to ask him? No, I did. You can do some deep research. Cast away at my senior year of high school. Getting shot was bad ass enough.
Starting point is 01:00:04 I didn't really. That was one of the Japanese dudes. Yeah, that was one of 18,000. So out of the 440 seconds, so they kind of put them through in phases. They sent out a battalion as an experiment, the 100th Infantry Battalion. And then after those guys were like performing really well, because I mean, they were dedicated as fuck, like they were trying to prove themselves to everybody so then they sent then they made an entire regiment and they sent the 442nd absorbed the 100th battalion it became the third battalion in the 442nd regiment and it's the most decorated military unit in US history for that size in that tenure they had
Starting point is 01:00:42 off the top of my head I think it was 21 medals of honor. Holy like, it was like you add away 1200 people 18,000 18,000 still fucking 18,000 in the in Yeah, in two two years 21 medals of honor. They had somewhere between three and 600 Purple Hearts, like a ridiculous amount of Bronze stars a ridiculous amount of distinguished service crosses and then there was nine I think it was nine thousand four hundred and eighty six purple hearts when they went in to save the lost battalion the the dude that was a division commander the 36th infantry
Starting point is 01:01:19 out of Texas was he's never been in combat and they put him in charge of a whole division. And he was just being aggressive because he wanted to be the first guy to break into Germany. And he had a group of Texans push way farther out than they should have. And they got completely surrounded by an entire division. And they kept sending in battalions to try to break through the line to rescue these guys and nobody could. So they called up the 442nd because they had been beating ass at this point. They sent in the 442nd trying to save 211 Texans were surrounded.
Starting point is 01:01:49 They sent in this 442nd, they fought for three days and broke through the line. And they ended up taking, I think it was 800 plus casualties to save 211 dudes. But they punched through and got them. And correct me if I'm wrong, but if I remember this story correctly, to save 211 dudes. Jesus. But they punched through and got him. And correct me if I'm wrong, but if I remember this story correctly, I think didn't later on they made all of them honorary Texans. Yeah, they're all honorary Texans because of this. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:14 It's kind of neat. That's dope as shit. You think they were confused when a bunch of Japanese guys saved him? Bro, that's like the coolest part of the story is like, they know the first Japanese guy that like came because it was foggy and like snow from all the battle. They I forget his name. He was a private first class, but he's a point man and I company or K company, IRK company. And like there's an account of did they
Starting point is 01:02:36 have an L company the Texan that probably did they have so many fucking dudes out there? God damn it. He like air. So like this, there's this account of like, you know, 18, 19 year old Texan kid just like manning his gun on his defensive perimeter. And fucking Japanese dude in American uniform comes walking through the smoke. And they like have this moment where they like lock eyes. And like,
Starting point is 01:02:57 Texan kids like lip starts quivering as his eyes start tearing up like, oh shit, I'm saved. And this Japanese 442nd infantry dude just looks at him like, you want to smoke? This offers him a cigarette. I was like, that's the coolest thing on the planet. No shit. That's awesome. Dang. So, dude, those stories are wild.
Starting point is 01:03:15 Dude, the shit some of those dudes did is insane. It's so much respect to any of those soldiers. I look at like anything that happened in G. What? You know, like that doesn't hold the candle. I mean, a lot of respect to everything that happened in GWAT, but that stuff is fucking wild because there is none of the modern tech, radios suck, you're out there in the middle of nowhere.

Starting point is 01:04:06 Crazy to me too is that like just that generation was just totally built different because you do these crazy things for you know, three, four fucking years, kill more people than pancreatic cancer and then come home and spend 40 years as a fucking postal worker. The crazy part for me, never mention it. The crazy part for me never mention it. The crazy part for me is like, we all grew up watching Save It Private Ryan, like we understood what they were doing. Like if me and you went to do that, I'm not saying we'd do it better because we wouldn't but we would at least have an idea of what we were
Starting point is 01:04:38 getting involved with. Right? Imagine the perspective of you've never seen saving Private Ryan. I'm sorry, you want how many motherfuckers to jump out of how many planes at the same time? You only know like a hundred people. Think you're in a small town like Max and that is all the people you've ever met known. You maybe shot a 22 to hunt. That is your life.
Starting point is 01:04:56 Yeah. Welcome to team death match with 800,000 people. This is more people than you've ever seen in one place. Half of them are trying to kill you. And then you're dropped. The airborne is the one that I can't wrap my head around. Like Normandy and that shit's wild, but then airborne units getting lost behind somewhere in Germany, France, wherever. And you're like, well, what's crazy to me too, shooting asthma is a little bit of,
Starting point is 01:05:21 you know, perspective. This is 40 years. You're, you're dropping in Normandy out of a fucking plane static line jumping into enemy territory under gunfire 40 fucking years after the Wright brothers did the first flight When was a parachute created the first parachute Leonardo da Vinci? I think it was Was it? Yes. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:47 I think like, Oh, the Eiffel Tower guy did it. Because they tried and he died. Someone jumped off the Eiffel Tower. He's like, this is how you do a parachute and it did not work. Well, you can't. Yeah, literally.
Starting point is 01:05:58 You can't win them all. Sacrifices must be made. The Airborne Union, you got 50 cents extra or $1.50. What was it? They got extra pay. I don't know how much it was at the time. I know they got jump pay though. It was like a lot of dudes volunteered for it, but it was like $2.50.
Starting point is 01:06:13 It was double the pay, but it was not that much when you look at it now and then you're deploying how low were those entries? I want to say, so we looked this up at one point. I'll verify, but I want to say that due to obviously, extended circumstances, they had to do some of those jumps that like, I want to say the lowest was like 300 feet, which is not safe. No. Oh God, open up. And then it's dragging. The crazy part is like. 250 was the lowest recorded on D-Day.
Starting point is 01:06:55 I'm good. How long did your parachute takes at least 100 feet to start? Yeah. You're literally looking at the ground Rounds are kicking up around you. Oh, no, I'm sorry with due to some alt altimeter errors some aircraft dropping troops at 175 feet Yeah, I'm building in San Antonio well bungee jump with a knife and cut it at the right time. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:28 I mean, at that point, fuck the parachute. Imagine looking out and going, go, go, go, jump in it. You're touching the top of a tree. Fuck. Oh, man. Yeah. the top of a tree. Fuck. Yeah, the Tower of the Americas, what you're thinking of in San Antonio is 750 feet.
Starting point is 01:07:54 Bro, you're dropping it, you know, a quarter of that. That's fucking wild. Yeah, fuck that. That is where I so much respect to those. And then and when you land, it's not over. Yeah, you've just you've started the match. land, it's not over. You've just you've started the match. Right. Right. That's the worst part. Hell the loading. Oh, no. I'm good. Well, that I can't wait for that one. I'll watch the fuck out of that. Jesus. Pretty good.
Starting point is 01:08:17 What are your guys's? Do you do any history at all? Yeah, I mean, like the history a lot of stuff is like, older history, like I do like the hoplite warfare, like the Hoplite heresy, where it's like the Orthodox versus the heretical view, whereas far as how they engage in the battle. Right. You're saying a lot of words. So not many of us are going to finally be insecure. It's like what are you guys talking about?
Starting point is 01:08:40 I'm getting like Captain America. I understood that reference. So the idea was that like the orthodox view is that the phalanx, which is like the Spartan, like you think Greek warfare, you have large shields and literally just a pushing match, right? So the idea is that they would go in and you would push, push, push and you would get some casualties that way. The heretical view is more that they would be a line like kind of like a deep, like you'd
Starting point is 01:09:08 have a small like 20 foot or 30 foot line where the lines they would kind of set up and then people would like to challenges in there and then they would engage and push and kill and back off because you're you get so exhausted so quickly, right? You can't challenge. So like people would literally like run out there like the bravest ones would literally just start killing each other. Like think of it like playing dodgeball back in the day, right? You can't. What's the challenge? So like people would literally like run out there, like the bravest ones would literally just start killing each other. Like think of it like playing dodge ball back in the day, right?
Starting point is 01:09:30 You have some people that hang out in the back and some people that get up to the front to actually engage. So literally there was like individual skirmishes in the front where people are like, cause you hear all the stories, the heroic stories of the people fighting in single combat. It's literally cause you had some dudes
Starting point is 01:09:43 that were like the most brazen or brave would kind of come out and they would meet each other and they would just engage and then the large bodies would move in and then they would disengage and you'd have some javelins thrown and you'd have a sling go through there and then they would engage again.
Starting point is 01:09:56 So it was like a tide of battle, right? It wasn't just a single push. It would tide in and out and you'd have to recover, move back and then the most aggressive ones would stay out and still engage or try to kill some stragglers or grab some prisoners and then they would kinda come back in their lines.
Starting point is 01:10:12 I've always wanted to like have a skit where I recreate the movie 300 but from the perspective of the guy at the very back of the phalanx. Just like what the fuck is going on out there for an hour and a half and then they die you're faking it. Yeah, yeah You're lifting yeah, how's everybody doing up there? Oh, I'm starting to be able to see the enemy sir not well That's when the battles over for water on your stuff you like I imagine skateboard imagine like the like the the psychological warfare like that would be that you're literally like,
Starting point is 01:11:06 if you guys ever played football or any sport, like you see a new team, you don't know who these dudes are and you're like, all right, and you see them, I'm going to challenge that guy, I'm going to fight this guy, but it's like, that guy's going to murder me and I can see his eyeballs. I can't imagine being shoulder to shoulder with someone that's literally trying to kill you in lines. That to me is just a different type of thinking altogether where it's just I bet the shit talking was awesome. I believe it.
Starting point is 01:11:31 Literally this close to someone who's trying to murder you. And what are you going to say to them? Stabbing someone with your mother joke at the same time. You bring up an interesting point where it's like you play in sports, you don't know these guys, but it's like I remember playing football and I would play the same guys. Because like you go up throughout the years, you don't know these guys, but it's like, I remember playing football and I would play the same guys. Cause like you go up throughout the years, you're playing the same guys every year. So imagine like these Greek city states warring,
Starting point is 01:11:50 they like see the same guys over and over. This guy, I didn't mean him to kill this guy. Oh, Mekinos you son of a bitch. This is my second time trying to kill dipshit ecclesiast. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I'm gonna get you this time. To your point though, as far as like, you know, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, back in the day, you're just a peasant from God knows where and like, what the fuck is an elephant?
Starting point is 01:12:25 Take a spear. Yeah, it's like, literally, yeah. Where did they get that from? Across the Mediterranean, bitch. Yeah, I remember reading something where it was like they were doing like the physical requirements for like the levy soldiers. They had to like jump, like they would space out spears and they had to like jump over the spears. And like, good job, here you go. You're set. You're done. Like, do what?
Starting point is 01:12:46 Like they would have the spheres just laid out like on the ground, like hopscotch almost. And it's like, they hopped through it and it's like, you can do it. Good job. There you're set to go. There's your military service. What's the elementary school thing where you get tested when you're a little kid? Oh, the presidential. To see if you get a spear or not. No, I don't think it was that, I think it was, I don't think it was that strict. I think it was more like that.
Starting point is 01:13:05 That's way too. Yeah, I know. It's a high bar. The president's standard. Yeah, underfed peasants here. We got to. They would jump over spears to see if you could throw them or not.
Starting point is 01:13:14 No, no, no. It was just like it was literally just like they would set up like a very little obstacle course in order for you to be qualified for like some sort of service like the landers. The landers. I forget.
Starting point is 01:13:25 That's the one they had. They were like, they were really good mercenaries, but like they had the guys used as vihander, which are those massive swords with like the curves that were like pike breakers and they had the pikemen. So like the pikemen to be in it, like they had much less strict physical conditions. Cause really you're just like, if you're a pikeman,
Starting point is 01:13:41 you're not engaging much in there. You just got a 20 foot sphere and you're like, all right, stay back, you know? Wait, was this, did we jump to medieval Europe? Or Renaissance Europe? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm going all over the place. I'm sorry. Are you talking about the Landshack pikemen?
Starting point is 01:13:54 Yeah, the Landshack, yeah. God damn, I know shit. Everything before 1776 was a mistake. No, no, once gunpowder came out. Damn you sir! You're a good shot, sir! Gunpowder came out of your mouth. So so so! Gunpowder ruined everything. So when would they use like...
Starting point is 01:14:13 There's a lot of third world countries that agree with that. Oh I know. I didn't laugh, I didn't laugh. Play that laugh and rewind. Man, life was rad before a gunshot. That shit blows. Dang China man had to make fireworks. Man, just working in like being working in trades and like just seeing new tools and new technologies come out to make the job easier and how much pushback and resistance and shit talking there was from That older generation of tradesmen that are like you'd have older dudes
Starting point is 01:14:50 It would like talk shit if you liked using an impact instead of a drill What just like people do not like changing and they'll just shit talk anything new that's more efficient They'll like make fun of you for it. Oh, yeah, you have soft hands. You're using power tools shit like that 24 7 I can't imagine the shit talking. Oh, you're gonna use that magic black power stuff Pansy ass. Why don't you stab a guy in the face like a man? Because wasn't there like that kind of pushback? I might be making this up entirely, but when they transitioned from Bose to Crossbows. So there was like, I mean, you can talk on this too, but really it was not necessarily
Starting point is 01:15:35 a big pushback. Oh, shit, Edmunds here. No, it was more like there was an idea that like they said the Pope made Crossbows legal and things like that because it was too powerful and stuff like that but really there wasn't a big gap between the performance of it it was just the amount of training required that was so minimal that you could arm people so quickly and have a similar result but overall it would be outpaced and performed by a good war bow or a long bow on almost all counts except for the
Starting point is 01:16:04 fact that it was easier to mass produce easier to train like a bow there was an performed by a good war bow or a long bow on almost all counts. Except for the fact that it was easier to mass produce, easier to train. Like a bow, there was an old saying like you want a good long bowman, train, start with the grandfather. So it's literally like a generational training to be able to be able to functionally use a weapon of war that can actually do damage downrange as opposed to crossbow which had very similar one to ones but it would just take a weekend you know you get someone to crossbow it's like alright let's do it. I didn't have to change your bone density on half your back. Are you good at it?
Starting point is 01:16:35 So it's like the problem it's like war of attrition. He walks normal. Next. He can jump over the spears. HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM MMM MMM M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M He did the one foot thing. Holy shit. Achilles reborn. Welcome back Brad Pitt. Dude, crossbows, even those, you're just drawing back with the giant metal lever thing. I mean, there's a few different, he's got the goat's foot. They got like the bicycle cranks.
Starting point is 01:17:24 Yeah, like the windless, which is like, that's a 1200 pound crossbow, which is like, you know, it's gonna be steel, but steel's horribly inefficient as like, to generate momentum. 1200 pound crossbow, steel's not gonna transfer as well, as if you had like a well made composite bow. So if like you have the bows of the Eastern Empire,
Starting point is 01:17:42 Ottoman bows, Turkish bows that are composite, that have like tendons and horse and things, that take a year to make, they have those, those can go, they've had shots up to 700 meters. That's the world record, I think, for an actual bow. It's a composite bow with a recurve, and that's the world record. But of course-
Starting point is 01:17:59 100 meters? Yeah, no, it's legit, yeah. So you can look it up, but they have, it's made for flight. It's more of sport than warfare. Because arrows are light. They're not going to do damage on the way down. They're small.
Starting point is 01:18:10 Ah, I wouldn't want to get hit by that. No, I'm just saying. True. But it's more like, don't even worry about it. Yeah. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.
Starting point is 01:18:19 Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. This is for me you're fucking insane. Yeah, I don't think I want to be hit by anything that has the ability to go 700 more meters Good god that is fucking wild. Did you get into any sword stuff? No, I do a lot of that. I'm not, I haven't done HEMA or anything like that. That's like the sword style, everything. And so I do a lot more stuff with less training weapons.
Starting point is 01:18:54 So I use a lot of Warhammers, Warpicks, blunt type damage, just because I feel like that's just like, a lot of archers would have an axe or a Warhammer or a maul or things like that. So it's not as much finesse, but you just freaking nail some armor. Sponsor a sniper rifle and a shotgun. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:19:12 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. A scalpel and a machete.
Starting point is 01:19:20 Yeah. Yeah. If we're sponsoring anything, we got to get this guy some fucking ballistic dummy heads because I want to see what a fucking battle a war hammer does to that. Yeah. If we're sponsoring anything, we gotta get this guy some fucking ballistic dummy heads, because I wanna see what a fucking battle, a war hammer does to that. I think that would be so satisfying. I just did one recently.
Starting point is 01:19:31 Get ballistic high speed out here? So, dude. That's what I'm gonna call it. I've been doing some of the, I do a lot of the bone, right? I'll buy like beef ribs or femurs and things like that to test it out, because it's just like, the ballistic dummies are expensive. But even that, with just like the war hammers and things,
Starting point is 01:19:45 I had one just recently where I had layered, I had, um, I had brigandine armor, which is 1.5 millimeter chain mill, and I had a padded gamut and then I had beef ribs behind it. And I just got a new war war acts, basically a battle acts. And so it's, Orleans battle acts. And so I took it with it's got a really sharp pointed point on the back and it went through everything and split the bone. It actually hit it right in the actual rib.
Starting point is 01:20:08 It went through and in. So it was through like three layers of armor in through the actual bone, which is way thicker than human and like in the back. And I was like, that's, that's real. I wish there was a way. I know that this would be logistically kind of difficult, but I wish there was a way to get with ballistic dummy labs Uh-huh and get them to do like a fifty percent larger head so you could do the David and Goliath shot Oh, I know yeah, that would be gnarly. Yeah, I guess we got the Nephilim bust here
Starting point is 01:20:42 My son yeah from fallen angels to a hundred of my sons. Yeah. Giants! Have you seen the, it looks like competitive paintball, but it's archery with like super-blonded arrows. Have you ever done that? No, I've never done that. I don't want to see you do that.
Starting point is 01:20:55 Yeah, yeah, no, I've never done that. It's like paintball with the inflatable obstacles and stuff. It's one of those, but they have little bows and arrows. It's like combat archery. It's like a nerf, it's like a nerf it's like a nerf on it yeah you're playing nerf arrows. Yeah but they don't go like probably like it's like yeah I went to a pickup game with my war bow and then yeah they kick me out after I killed three people. I gotta go catch a plane back home I'll see you
Starting point is 01:21:23 guys later it was nice to meet you. Hey great to meet you too back home. I'll see you guys later. It was nice. Hey, you two, man We're gonna go kiss him. That titties not gonna pop itself Bye One caffeine my slingers my slingers give me the Cretan archers that sounds like You gotta go to the soft day on that one. I said it. He's like, OK. Slingers. Slingers moved into the neighborhood.
Starting point is 01:21:52 You can't culturally appropriate the Slinger's work. You want some merch that will do good? You're welcome. Oh my god. Dude. OK. And you have a Slingers t-shirt. Un-ironically. They're writing it-shirt. Un- unironically.
Starting point is 01:22:05 You're writing in an Apollo. Unironically. What's up? I'm writing in a Chrysler Green. 100 actually. Dude. You're writing 300 out the window. It's like,
Starting point is 01:22:16 all my slingers hate Goliath. That shit would go for you. I'm here. I'm here now, I'm committed. I've thrown in my lot with you bastards. Well, Nick is gone and now we're going to learn about this because he had, you were on a movie set helping. Yeah. David.
Starting point is 01:22:40 Yes. So back in May, I actually went to Greece for three weeks because Amazon had the series House of David. And so the stunt coordinator found me on Instagram and he reached out, he's like, hey, we're making a show and he couldn't talk to me about the time. He's like, would you be interesting teaching someone how to use a sling? I was like, sure.
Starting point is 01:22:57 And then time went by and then I got an email, because there's so many, the short time I had with that little Hollywood thing, there's like assistance, assistant to assistance. Like I never knew who I was talking to. And they're like, Hey, the producers in Hollywood, can you drive down and meet them to go over, you know, what, what you might be able to do? I'm like, sure. So I drive down to I drive down to LA and I bring the slings with me and I meet with this producer and we walked down the Marina and I show them how it works.
Starting point is 01:23:24 I got some rocks and just kind of toss them out there and then we have lunch together like yeah we'd love to have you out like how long can you commit now like I got you know two to three weeks max like that's as long as I want to be with my family like that's you know I'm not trying to chase a Hollywood dream I'm not gonna be an actor depends on how many zeros yeah technically Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I guess technically. So I have the idea of like- $20? $20? $20?
Starting point is 01:23:46 $20? $20? $20? $20? $20? $20? $20? $20?
Starting point is 01:23:50 I changed my mind. $1000 Denari! The idea that you don't even need to be like- he didn't even need to include the TV show part. You're just- somebody hits you up. Hey, would you like to teach someone how to use a sling? You're like, fuck yeah! I know! Dude, it's a real mix! Max! Like, this is- again, this is like a hobby, how to use a sling? You're like, fuck yeah.
Starting point is 01:24:09 This is like a hobby, passion thing. I don't care about any of that. So they actually flew me out to Greece and I got to, they, they had this, they had the two different departments. One was the stunt studio. And that's where they had like all they see in the movies, the mats and the boxes, right? With the people, like they kind of section out where the set's going to be when they actually get there with the boxes and they kind of do the choreography. So I met the stunt crew and they were super cool guys.
Starting point is 01:24:29 And then I met the kid who's playing David Michael. He was a great kid, like young little kid. And so I worked with him for like two, three weeks. Just trained him how to use the sling, you know? So that was great. And then I met that big Martin Ford who played Goliath. He's that really big English guy with tats all up on his neck. He's just some big like six, eight bodybuilder guy. Is he in any other movie? On July 18th, it's the Blue Crew to the rescue.
Starting point is 01:24:53 It's smurfing time. Hefty. Can you even lift, bro? Grouchy. I hate the radio. Quiet. I have no idea what he just said. And smurf it. That's how it's done, boys. Smurf. Only in theaters July 18th He's he's been in like a lot of movies. He plays the villain in a lot of movies
Starting point is 01:25:09 I think so I was working with him like spear throwing and everything like that cuz Scalife had spears So like how to how to get that going so I do that Di Javelin and things like that as well here We have a couple different lengths of sling and so I have a longer one a shorter one and so they would carry the ones Harder, I'm the longer one would would be one. And so they would carry the one's harder. I'm assuming the longer one would, would be able to toss a larger projectile further, right? Different ranges, just like anything, right? You have a longer, you have a longer sling, you have more centrifugal force.
Starting point is 01:25:34 So you can actually move a projectile further. So that's going to be like early mortar fire. So to speak, you can pass a longer rock lead or clay further down the line. So that's going to be longer range than medium range is a medium sling and then shorter ranges for shorter range. And so they carry, they have a waist head and they'd have one in their hands. They carry three different lengths of sling of cord to basically do that. And there's even like an old adage cause they were so good at the bar slingers.
Starting point is 01:25:59 Like they were basically always mercenaried out. Like even if they got conquered, then the Romans were like, all right, cause they were for Carthage first. And then Roman beat Carthage. And they're like, all right, you guys are with us now. And they're like, all right, cool. So they just kind of hopped around as mercenary forces. What were they called again?
Starting point is 01:26:13 The Balearic slingers. That sounds like a dope sports team. It does. Honestly, yeah. What size were the projectiles? Like we talked about baseball. So the Romans used lead and that was about three ounces of lead so not super massive
Starting point is 01:26:26 But lead's very dense. So three ounces of lead's about that big. I was like show me with Larger ones would be like eight like when I sing like eight ounce rocks or something. Those are about that big so that's gonna do it sounds like you're a drug dealer He's a real ass And so then I was even... You get half an energy drink in this guy. Oh good heavens. I was just going off the reservation. I was talking to Brandon too about
Starting point is 01:27:14 the different... the Romans would actually drill holes in the lead shot because it would whistle. And so I've done that with some fishing lead. You just have the fishing weights, those are about 3 ounces. You drill a hole in it, and you can half drill all the way through, and it makes this hiss noise, like a sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss in position as the slingers go so every Roman legionnaire would carry a sling and they would
Starting point is 01:27:45 use those to keep people pinned down so that flanking the people wouldn't feel a flank out because they would just say that noise going over your head. Oh, fuck. It's not like a paintball or anything flying by. Yeah, exactly. Like shit, I don't want to move out because something's flying by. Exactly. But the holes drilled specifically so it made more noise just like totally just suppression.
Starting point is 01:28:03 Yes. Yeah, exactly. Psychological fire early. Jericho fucking whistles on the German plane. specifically so it made more noise just like totally just suppression yes yeah exactly fire early jericho fucking whistles on the german plane the stucas when you get shot at i mean you know distance because it's like whistle it's not cracking if it's cracking it's very close i mean it's like yeah cover concealment huge difference so and even that like because i've tested it like you get wooden shields against it and it makes this god-awful thud when it hits the wood. It's not going through wood, but it's going to be like this really just force reckoning,
Starting point is 01:28:33 boom, like thunder when it hits. And they even have the, there was even documents of like the surgeons, the Roman surgeons, when they would face these people that use it, they would actually have a specific device to pull the lead out of your skin because it was actually, it would actually go into the body because it was moving at such high velocity, 150 miles per hour is what they get it to. It would actually embed in the body. So they'd have a specific tool to remove it.
Starting point is 01:28:57 It was called a knife. Yeah. A spoon. Just scoop. What sport sport. The tool to remove the lead weights was also good for eating. Well, how would how would they actually do that? Like, they have like they would be able to inside so it come in and pull it out a
Starting point is 01:29:19 little bit. So they don't actually have pictures of what it looked like. They just referenced that they had a specific tool to remove the lead from the body when it would actually punch into it. It's like a, which was the king or prince that had the arrow. Henry the fifth. Yeah, that would actually drill into the arrow and open up to pull it out. They have to go through like the actual shafts to get it in there. Yeah. At that time it was like, oh, this is extremely,
Starting point is 01:29:44 what would be the word like revolutionary cutting yeah cutting edge yeah this and you look at it you're like oh even have nothing great here's some sauce shit that some gypsy lady cooked up for you. Smell it. So they just scoop them out. Yeah. For those of us who don't know the backstory on that, you said Henry the fifth? The fifth, yeah.
Starting point is 01:30:15 Shot in the fucking face? Yes. Yeah, yeah. It was hit in the face. Because they would like, and I have like, if we do this, if we go big, it's like with the armored combat, you don't realize how much oxygen it deprivates from you with to have a metal over your face because you get a CO2 buildup, right?
Starting point is 01:30:34 So that's what all the holes were for. And so a lot of times during a charge or when they're giving orders, they'd lift up the faceplate. So you'd be able to breathe because the early Corinthian design, like the Spartan helmet and the, with the comment is it would actually sit up on the head so you could have it up and it would rest on your head like a hat and then they created the
Starting point is 01:30:52 visor so you could pop it up and then like those in front would give orders of things you'd pop it up and then when you get charged drop it down and go down but if you're issuing orders or yelling or trying to catch your breath you have to pop that visor up to get your breath because it really does limit the amount of oxygen you can intake when you have something covering majority of your face. Yeah, it's a gas mask everyone knows those. Yeah yeah there you go yeah. Gas mask run you like yeah we'll keep it you just crack it. It sucks dick. Just so your ear is not poisoned, cause I'd be dead. Yeah, hopefully it's not neurotoxic. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:31:28 How about just a little CSK? Yes, it's a smidgen. So you did that and then what movie trained that individual up? Did you just do three weeks of it before? Yeah, yeah, I just did three weeks with him and the kid was great. He took it very seriously.
Starting point is 01:31:43 He'd go down to the beach and practice. Like he was committed to it, you know? And so he got really good in that short time. I was genuinely impressed. So I would, I would do it up. Like if you've ever boxed, like you'd, you know, you have shout out combinations one, two, four, six, right? Same like that. So it's like one, two. So I, I'd call out different sling styles. Basically I have a big bag of tennis balls when we were in there and I'd call out like one and two and six and he would have different styles he would run through. So as he got really good at it, we would run through his different styles.
Starting point is 01:32:11 What are the different like not to go too in the weeds, but the different styles? Because like, I just assume it's all pretty similar. Right? No, it's so there's quite a few different ones. And a lot of it was kind of you had to create like we had styles and then flashy styles like Hollywood, right? I think of like, you know, like the jumping throws and like the spinning throws and so we had a couple flashy ones which was like we spin around and move like if you talk about that Spaniard the guy who does the who dinged that
Starting point is 01:32:38 Who dinged that metal pot? Oh, right. Yeah That spin style like he flips around and does that smile to get a lot of momentum, but looks very cinematic. So this is the view. Yes. So the standard one is just like a, you don't want to, you don't spin it too much. And you, if you bring it over your head, it's really just to rest and then you explode out on that last one. So it's like, it's just to keep them, the energy keeps the rock in the sling and you explode and you sling it down there
Starting point is 01:33:06 And so there's a couple different ones a figure eight where you kind of come around back and up and sling it that way You can kind of come behind and then come flip it over the front and then go that way And so there's like there's there's quite a few different kinds and you can have one where you rest it at the side And then when you're ready you explode out over the top of the head So those are the ones we were working on. So like there's a quick shot which is just one. It's just you don't even you don't even rotate it. You just snap it over the top and that's usually the most accurate because you don't have to
Starting point is 01:33:34 like when you're spinning it you really have to calculate in your head when the release point is to kind of figure out okay I'm letting go I'm letting go of it here as opposed to just like a snap where it's a lot easier to kind of get it down the line. So those are good for closer range, but if you want more momentum, more inertia, you generally need to come over. And then that last one, you're really gonna open up and extend it out so you have as much momentum as possible.
Starting point is 01:33:57 So it's extending your arm like by double, right? So just think of a pitcher, it's extending the length of their arm by two, so you have that extra momentum for a heavier projectile to go just, you know, 120, 130 real quick, real quick. I feel like we're a group of kids that just got old and we're listening to the best kid in the group that can throw the rocks the hardest.
Starting point is 01:34:18 It's that it's that caveman instinct. Yeah, I just said right before we came or I came on. I was like, dude, I bet. Cause he was saying people carried around a pouch full of the stone. Yes. And I was like, I just said right before we came but I came on I was like dude I bet cuz he was saying people carried around a pouch full of the stones Yes, and I was like I bet the day before battle just finding the perfect stone Stone Turns out rock fights when you're a kid is just blood memory for being a sling Do you have a maybe that's our word
Starting point is 01:35:05 I have my concealed carry sling. Yeah, dude, you'reside sling, someone breaks in, you're like, babe, watch. Babe? Shit. My wife is entirely unamused by all of my nerdiness. She's like, you are such a nerd. I'm like, yes, you married me. You made this bed. Don't worry, it balances out with your looks. You can get away with it.
Starting point is 01:35:24 I was thinking about this earlier. I'm like, he looks like the gay love child of me and John Lovell. That's accurate. Yeah, that's accurate. Sorry, John. Collateral. For sword combat, do you just go for like the,
Starting point is 01:35:43 what is your favorite style? So you were talking about like the huge was so wonders It's my hundred five hundred Massive like you grab like six foot Yeah, and they'd have like the ricotta which is like an unsharpened part so you can grab on the top part there as well So you can have that leverage, but those are like my item weapons, too Yeah, and they're like pike busters So you have those 20 those were meant to break up the pikes because you have those 20 foot pikes and those could chop through that
Starting point is 01:36:07 wood to kind of close that distance when you're basically trying to get in that warfare. But for me, I mean, like I said, I'm not trained in swords, so I just like in archers too that a lot of times it would be like a mall or a war hammer or a pick because that's going to do way better against plate because it has that blunt that blunt damage. And so as armor got better in like the 15th, 16th century, right, the swords would be much narrower
Starting point is 01:36:31 to kind of punch through mail. And then you'd have the rondell dagger, which is what's going to do the finishing move because it would engage in a clinch, they'd go down. And that's going to be the thing that's going to get those weak points, but you can't thrust through well-made plate. A lot of people, and that's the thing we've talked about it.
Starting point is 01:36:46 It's weapons went to like a scimitar or a what is the fence or a saber? Yeah. Googling how to be advertisement for some gay French sword. sword Armor got better. So they're just like brute-force Perry this asshole Literally like concussive force is what's gonna do it So I think that's you know, it's like either you were extremely skilled You know fencer or you were just like brute force damage or you get three dudes
Starting point is 01:37:26 You take a night down and you hit the weak points and that's how most of them went down like an Ashen core Right. It's like it wasn't the archers that did it it would take them off of their horses It would take the horses out of the equation to disrupt the charge and then the Knights lose like 50% of their efficiency If they're not mounted because they're much slower. You lost me on that a little bit. How are they taking out the horses? So basically the, the reason why the war bow was so efficient was the long distance and for a charge to work well are cavalry charge. They need to be shoulder, shoulder, elbow to elbow, knee to knee.
Starting point is 01:37:55 It needs to be a close knit formation for a charge to have good impact damage. And so if you hit horses from a distance, it's going to spook the horses. The horses may die or fall and it it's gonna cause them to fall over. It's gonna cause an escalation of the charge to be disrupted. And so when the knights lose the ability to be on their horse, then the archers, the horses are gonna have the advantage
Starting point is 01:38:18 because they're gonna be able to swarm. Just think of anything. It's like three people versus one dude in armor. If they're in the melee and the craziness, they can pin them down. And then they're going to have the daggers to basically go through the eyes, the neck, the underarms, where the chain mail is to really be able to finish that person off. So it's like brutal, brutal, right? Like just think of going out with like four dudes on top of you,
Starting point is 01:38:40 like not the eye, not the eye. Four dudes. Like, not the eye, not the eye. Yeah! It's Saturday night. Yeah. I'm at 4D. Yeah. That's it. Oh no, my chainmail's open back there. He called me Steph Pikeman. Welcome to Unsubscribe, brother. Trying to buy combat shots. I was mentally prepared, but I wasn't prepared.
Starting point is 01:39:12 Even just pragmatically, I was thinking it's a very funny mental image. Let's say you got a knight full armor doing cavalry charge. How would you rather fight in full armor? Fresh and ready to go or having just been knocked off a horse and had to run 700 yards in full armor? Yeah, that would be brutal and I think that the thing that would work would be that the French were really committed to the horse, the cavalry, but if you had they would separate you had hard targets and soft targets. So hard targets were armored knights and soft targets were the horses because even they had the catch in the front. So the
Starting point is 01:39:48 horses had that catch which is usually sometimes they had mailer things but they weren't completely armored so you can hit the flanks. But if you had hard targets advancing even with the bow if they had their helmet down and they're moving they would still be able to move forward relatively well because it's not going to go through armor especially at an arc right. You're going to have to really hit those weak points, but it was a volume fire. So if you think of 5,000 archers and they could do 10 to 12 a minute, right?
Starting point is 01:40:11 And they would do that. So you'd have possibly 10,000 arrows in the air at a time because you think about the, the volume. So they, it's like an arrow flight at like 300 yards. It's probably like 10 seconds. So you could have two sets. That's blotting out the sun. Literally it's like 10,000 at a time and there would be another round behind it. So really you're firing the second arrow before the first one lands. Right. Right. Exactly. That's crazy. Yeah. And they're, and it's not like, again,
Starting point is 01:40:36 it's not a small arrow. It's like, it's 1500 grain, 1600 grain, massive thing, half inch shaft that's just really coming down. So it really only a fraction of need to hit the part that hit the actual weak spot for it to actually be usable to disrupt or cause mental, you know, exhaustion as you're moving forward. What is sheer are we talking about? So this was like 14th, 15th century. And then at the 16th century, the archers, they got a little more armor and things.
Starting point is 01:41:06 But then after that, then gunpowder came around. And so the armor started to change where plate became less usable. And also, you lost so many skilled archers that you weren't able to replenish those ranks. The same with the slinger, right? Because it's like a skilled craft. And so as you lose those people, you can't replenish them.
Starting point is 01:41:25 And that's the great thing about a crossbow. We talked about this, and we did the crossbow video how it's like crossbow, that man dies like here, take this. Yeah. Right. And they can do it. But if you have a heavy duty war bow, you pass the guy next to you. He's like, what am I going to do with this? Right? Yeah. You can't. Fucking bow. I got you, bro. Guess I'm going to die.
Starting point is 01:41:51 Guess we're swinging it. This is now my melee mode. Damn you, Sam. May not have the skill to shoot an arrow, but I can hit you with a stick. Yeah. Isn't that where, kind of where, like, Pikeman, essentially, I mean, obviously, it was to shoot an arrow, but I can hit you with a stick. Isn't that where, kind of where like pikemen essentially, I mean, obviously it was to stop like cavalry, but it's way easier to just give a fucking medieval peasant a sharpened
Starting point is 01:42:12 stick. Oh yeah, I mean, spears were like the king, they are considered the king of weapons. They existed like the earliest, the earliest reference of a spear was like the Clacton spear, I think, and that was like 400,000 BCE. And that was just, it was just 400,000. Yes. 400,000. Yeah. And so when we switched from monkeys to slightly smarter, we just got fired. Human covenant war. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 01:42:37 But it was literally just the sharp end. They would harden it. My bad. Sorry guys. You get harden the wood by heating it, right? Like it would ash, so they would make it and so it would be like a stronger stick, but they wouldn't have like stone or anything, but that was like, they have a record of that as being an actual offensive or hunting weapon at that time. And it basically went all the way up
Starting point is 01:42:58 until like the 18th, 19th century, right? Spears were still common, like halberds were still things that were very much in use at that time. And it took a long time for it to phase out, even bayonets, an extension of a spear. Because the halberds, they just started spearing, like, oh, let's just add a hard point at the end so you can swing it to get through armor or sharp points or hooks to bring out weapons. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll say, well, you've all heard the expression that every weapon is either a stick or a rock over the course of all human history. Guns just throw rocks faster than a sling can.
Starting point is 01:43:35 We just got that skill tree upgraded. Yeah, yeah, yeah. New, faster rocks! Yeah. If a commercial's back in the day, a hundred million dead. Johnson & Johnson, a family company. See you by Ratio.
Starting point is 01:43:52 What is your favorite, is it during David Goliath era, your favorite style of combat or formation weapons? I think the coolest to me is that time because like I was telling you earlier, it's like there was a moment where the slings would outrange the bows at the time, right? The slinger could throw three to 400 meters and at that time.
Starting point is 01:44:18 Dude, you gotta make a shirt. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You gotta make a sling shirt, bro. I'm trying to listen. Come on. I'm struggling with Connor. Can giggling make me giggle? The teacher's gonna have to separate us.
Starting point is 01:44:32 Don't be the bunch of punk-ass slings! Lookin' out for the real OG sling over here! Quick gank in a man's sling, you lizard-o! You good? I just wanna see that. Okay, go on, your favorite era. Outranging bows of the time. Yeah, so it was like, the idea was that there was a thought that even like, there wasn't good,
Starting point is 01:44:57 there wasn't good wood on the islands in order to make a bow. So they had to be proficient in the sling. And there's like old anecdotal stories that like, even at a youth, a young age, like the kids before they could eat their day would put a piece of bread up on a stick. And before they could eat the bread, they had to hit it with a stone, right? So it literally was something that was taught from youth to adulthood.
Starting point is 01:45:16 And so even me training for a long time is like a pale representation of the power and the accuracy they had. And the Greeks would set it up on the beach. They'd have these rings set up at different varying distances. They have to make it and thread through that ring with the sling. And so it's really just so cool because it's just a rope and a rock. Right. Like the ingenuity of people where it's like, I'm going to take a string and a rock and I'm going to make it something that can murk you from 120 yards away. Right.
Starting point is 01:45:44 So I was insane because you like in my mind, you're coming from like the firearm space. Yeah. There's no sites. Right. You just like fuck it. That seems right. Right. Right.
Starting point is 01:45:55 That's absurd. And of all the things I've learned, like the amount of stones that I've thrown is absurd. Like I had to tape up my fingers with athletic tape because you get blistered all over. Right. And so just being able to get it to go in a slight direction of where I wanted to go took ages just to figure out I want to go straight, not left, not right. Just like I want to hit a 10 by 10 target. That's like 20 yards away. It took forever to figure out just on when to release it. And you're saying some people will do 120 yards and they could do that. Right. Accurately. Right. That's, I mean, again,
Starting point is 01:46:29 not like we'd show like a nine millimeter pistol. You could, most people are hitting 120 yards. No, God, no. Yeah. And again, it's when you get into the weeds of the history, it's like you hear a lot of things and it's like, okay, maybe they did that. But really most anyone can get an army from 120 Did you write right? That's a thing where they're shoulder to shoulder Again, minute of proud. Right exactly.
Starting point is 01:46:53 Yeah, and even the war bows like even in medieval Europe they had hunting bows and war bows war bow is like a modern term But it's anything over 80 pounds and so they wouldn't hunt with something like that because to be able to aim well with something that's 160 pounds, like your body is under such duress that you can hit a target with it, but anyone can hit an army at that distance as opposed to like a pinpoint accurate shot. You need time to be able to really settle in an aim, but your body's basically wanting to let go the moment you get it back. So it's much harder to aim those at like a pinpoint spot
Starting point is 01:47:25 when it's that heavy of a draw weight as opposed to just lobbing it down range to just disrupt an army. I'm glad you brought that up. I was actually about to ask, do you do any sort of bow hunting? No, I've never actually bow hunted. Really? No, yeah. The first and never. No, no, no, no. It's like, no, I mean, no offense by this, but you look like the kind of guy who would walk out into the forest and hand feed baby deer. I would guess. What he said. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:47:53 No offense by this, he's the guy that would order edamame for the table. Wait, I got this. I got this. Edamame. Yeah, exactly. What an oddly specific gig. The ladies love it?
Starting point is 01:48:10 Yes. With some soy bacon. I didn't mean it like that. You seem like a kind, gentle human being. It's like you're going to Disney Princess. Everybody is fucking sucking you off and then I say something nice and you're like, Why are you so gay? Why are you so nice to the super hot chat? Are you gay?
Starting point is 01:48:30 Tune in for the Pepperbox exclusive gangbang. The Disney princess. Oh man. The birds are following you around. Have you, you need to go hunt with hunt with like deer hunt with a sling Yeah, I mean that would be a good piece of content. That is a lot of that would be nice the deer suffers I was like, that's a very good idea. Yeah. Yeah, I just smack a fucking deer Everyone's laughing. And it's slailing for life as like all the bones just break.
Starting point is 01:49:08 I did a ballistic dummy with the sling once and I hit it like on the orbital bone and I, you know, ballistic dummies I feel like are- Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee You walk in with your giant rock.

You walk in with your giant rock. You walk in with your giant rock. You walk in with your giant rock.
Starting point is 01:49:38 You walk in with your giant rock. You walk in with your giant rock. You walk in with your giant rock. You walk in with your giant rock. I'll take this the wrong way. You should have the type of sling that would cave in a deer skull. Oh, shit, Edmunds. So you orbital crushed a mannequin's head. Yeah, so the ballistic dummy, it broke all the bones. But the crazy thing was all the way to the back of the skull.
Starting point is 01:50:08 It just shattered everything just like it was, is like paste. Right. And so I couldn't imagine like pre, you know, surgery, whatever, if bones splinter like that, it's like, if you don't die, it's not an instant death, right? That is like a long, horrible mushyhy skull for like a couple days where you're just floundering. And so it's brutal. There is actually an old medical procedure they used to do for stuff like that.
Starting point is 01:50:33 It was called prayer. Yeah, I know. We'll get the priest in here. But no, it would be, yeah. Like sage. Yeah. Like the... The priest rolls in. Brain mush. No, it would be... Like Sage! I agree. I'm gonna go with Brainwush.
